He has. I don’t know why they go to Brooks.
Might be time to give gamble another crack and at centre?

The first sentence was in reply to Marsters in the team as a centre and apart from Mitchell I would still have him in my team
The second means exactly that Marsters and Mitchell have almost identical overall goal kicking percentages..
I noticed you ignored a subsequent post where I said Marsters has a lot of work to do on his Goal kicking..Wests Tigers are not that flushed with options..Tyson Gamble is probably the best goal kicker in the Club but I wouldn't put him in the centres on that alone over Marsters but that's me

Poor teams have poor execution, we were poor, we are a poor team because of our execution.
Having a crack doesn't make the top 8, we've been "having a crack" for a while now.
When the Titans lose 10 games straight, I'm sure Brennan will also say "our effort is good, we're just not executing" it's a really bad excuse, it's a soft way of saying "were a crap football side"

Marsters' confidence was shot. Giving Gamble a go for Jennings sounds like its worth a go. I hope we try that, because we definitely need something…

Cant believe some want to drop Marsters. Yes his form is a little down, but it's clearly a confidence thing. He is showing glimpses, but then making a terrible mistake, often just after a good run. He has to simplify things. Give the kicking up, and run hard. Sometimes he needs to step just once, but will step 3 times. Be more direct. He is a key player for us and you dont drop those because of a few bad goal kicks and dropped balls.
On Jennings, I thought he ran with a lot more purpose last night and looked good.

Can't believe he missed that one in front. Even the rest of the side was back over halfway because it was such a sitter.
Then Cleary who does bugger-all with the football in hand, but kicks goals like he's throwing them over.

Marsters is the last choice. If, and its a big if, Gamble is a decent option at centre, then Jennings to left wing, Thompson to the right wing outside Marsters.
Yeah its easy to be emotional after that rubbish served up by everyone last night. But how do you come up with Marsters having an attitude problem? Attitude is about effort and Marsters lead all the team for metres for the last 2 weeks and was second in round 1\. He leads the NRL for offloads and is top 5 for tackle busts. Hardly strikes me as someone with an attitude problem. Do we need to find a better kicker? Definitely. But The kid is one of our most dangerous players and has put his hand up every week in the effort department. He still has mistakes to get out of his game but always looks dangerous and likely. Plenty of other players that offer far less in the squad and contribute little.

Zac lomax would be great on the wing

If Benji gets back into the side he has to be saddled with the goal kicking, even with his dicky hamstrings. There are no other options

Don't know about attitude, but for sure his confidence was down. The set-up for the kicks took longer than usual, and they seemed to get progressively longer.
Sometimes it just isn't our day, but it would be good if that happened less often than not.

The more you watch Marsters kick the more problems you see , especially when they show the front on of him kicking
He squares out too early and his foot isn't coming in from behind the ball …..explains why he is pushing most kicks
Brooks issue is he puts the ball way too far away from his body and why he pulls his field goal attempts

Not sure if it could be an issue but Esan used to buy his own Nike boots but now is sponsored by Adidas.

He is a gun, he is also a centre forced to play wing, yes he would be good, but I am friends with his cousin, and saints have a high opinion of him, but money talks, and so does a starting centre spot each week, the goal kicking would be a bonus
